Being an only child has its ups and downs. Sometime you enjoy the independence and sometimes it's really lonely. Some people think nothing of it and some people think it's completely weird. People will make assumptions some good, some bad. At times they will be true but a lot of the times they won't be. You learn how to make friends faster and rely on other family members to get you through the worst and best times. These are things that only "only children" have to deal with!
